travelnews: New Entry Requirements in Effect for CANADA

[BAO news for travel administrators]

Good Morning Travel Coordinators:

Canada instituted new entry requirements that went into effect September 30.  While exceptions include US citizens and those with a valid Canadian visa, visa-exempt foreign nationals including those living in the United States will now require an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to fly to or transit through Canada.  The cost of an eTA is $7 CAD.

The leniency period that allows travelers to board their flight without an eTA ends November 9.  If you have a non-US citizen travelers who are traveling to Canada, have them apply for an eta before you book their flight to Canada.  Most applicants get approved within minutes.  However, some applications can take several days to process.

Safe Travels,
